Concave wheel interest. Custom offsets and 305 rear fitment
#46
I still do not have wheel weights..I guess until I get the wheels and weigh them for myself.
I would not guess them to be in the "light" category due to the extra material and stainless fasteners vs Ti that were on my OZ wheels.
Working on the F parts seems to be thankless at times, so I do appreciate recognizing how much time all this stuff takes. I am still just one guy, trying to make things happen.

First of all FIGS, I love the work you are doing here. Thank you for all of the time and effort you have vested in the ISF.
I'm tired of seeing ISFs with heavy 20x9/20x11 only running 245/285 tires, or worse...those getting aftermarket wheels with ridiculous offsets barely able to run stock tire widths without rubbing. The wheels designs you are looking at are beautiful. What are the ballpark wheel weights for the 19x9/19x11 rims you are looking at? 9" and 11" rims with 265 and 305 tires sounds like a beastly package...love it.
Unfortunately I personally won't be getting any of this any time soon as my wife gave up her highly lucrative job to be a stay at home mom with our two-month old daughter.

It can be even more dicey in the aftermarket wheel business because of the industry's vaunted and well deserved reputation for cutthroat business practices. I hope you stay the course, FIGS. You already know how I feel about this from our many PMs.

Here's a suggestion; if you're ordering in quantity, why not deal with MHT directly? They manufacture the ADV, Vossen Forged, etc. wheels anyway. The only issue is that they make wheels for so many brands that the production times are L O N G.
The custom wheel business is a mess right now... you've been warned!
Lots of props for taking this on!

Hopfully I provide enough flexibility for what the market will demand and deliver according to anticipation.
I am already starting to hate the business practaces of the wheel business lol.
Fortunately I would not be afraid to take a lot of things that other would not.

Thanks, again I try to make things that solve problems and I know what it is like to cut a check for something that you will not see for another 4 weeks at least...painful.

Light at the end of the tunnel, I guess finished happened today. Honestly things are straight at the moment with these guys. Stuff happens and it has been well communicated. The bigger issue was with the other Vendor trying to ride on some work I had done and potentially getting wheels earlier. Needless to say it was a mild misunderstanding and it was fact and fiction, mostly on the other vendors part, not the supplier.
But back to the wheels and spare the drama.
Actual wheels shown. Tried to match factory gunmetal. Conservative concave. Next round will be 10mm more aggressive and require some fender mods.

The mesh design posted in the other thread is also available as will a few more. I just wanted to get one set and all the offsets cleared prior to open release of all the designs. Also it was at the request of the Wheel company to keep designs confidential until they OK'd the release.

Ah Heck, I didnt know they could do that color. Thanks figs lol, now im gonna have to call and see if I can get my color changed. I didnt know you were doing the 6 spoke, they keep things on a tight rope their lol and even after my pestering they wouldnt tell me your design haha.
I am excited, wish it was more concave, but they were telling me all about how that works so this makes alot of sense.

I am putting the whole package together and will have my race tire shop to all mounting and balancing as well as the lightweight lugs of your color choice. I will do 0 margin on the ties and wheels to make things price competitive. I am also trying to source good take tires to make things even cheaper as they are a tire rack take off depot. I just stopped by today an they have conti and pirelli 305 /30 takeoffs in great shape.
I am trying to do alot of work for you guys to make this a no brainer.

I have been given the OK.
I am working with Forged Specialties,for the 3-Peice forged wheels shown previously. Here are a few other styles that they have going right now. I should have pricing guidelines soon as well as the wheels on the F.
